Simple Family Computing

We are a family of five, ages 20 to 58, who operate eight computers at home. There is lots of info and advice on the Web and in popular magazines on how to take care of an individual PC, or even how to tend a small peer to peer network with perhaps 3 PC’s. But there is NO ADVICE that caters to us.

Even though between the five of us, we probably have one whole geek brain, we till have a chaotic computing environment. Things go on the fritz; our record-keeping is spotty; e-stuff usually breaks at a “bad time.”  Stress, stress, stress. We’d really rather be hiking, biking, swimming, watching a movie or even cleaning the garage than doing computer housekeeping and damage control.

You can watch us as we try to apply a more business like approach to our computing….in the hopes it will save us time, stress and money.
